With Bush up by 130,000 Kristol says that's getting to be a big number to overcome. It sounds to me like the Cleveland area votes have already been counted but no one seems to know for sure where the 800,000 votes are located.
Votes in Columbus area and in Hamilton County is what I am hearing -- Republican areas.
G Steph. admitted that Kerry can not win without Oiho.
Clermont and Warren Counties are still heavily out. BIG Bush counties. Hamilton County is being counted but Joe "Write in" Deters is slowing things down a bit. Still should go Bush (Cincinnati).
There are also an esimated 200K provisinal votes
True, but neither can the President. Ohio is the ball game.
I just checked and Bush is up 170K with 76% of the vote statewide in, INCLUDING two-thirds of Cuyahoga (Cleveland) County (dem stronghold)
Precincts Reporting: 76.97%
Office Candidate Party Votes % Of Votes
President/Vice President
Bush, George W. Republican 2,238,561 51.77%
Kerry, John F. Democratic 2,063,934 47.73%
Badnarik, Michael 11,766 0.27%
Peroutka, Michael Anthony 9,872 0.23%
Schriner, Joe -WI 30 0.00%
Cobb, David Keith-WI 15 0.00%
Duncan, Richard A.-WI 5 0.00%
Zych, Thomas F.-WI 5 0.00%
Harris, James -WI 0 0.00%
Parker, John T.-WI 0 0.00%
Total Votes 4,324,188
Whoever takes Ohio should win this thing. Its not time to gloat yet..
OHIO PLEASE COME THROUGH!!!
Big counties left in Ohio:
Clermont County, Bush leads 70%-30%, 55% reporting, (49k votes cast)
Cuyahoga County, Bush trails 35%-65%, 76% reporting (497k votes cast)
Hamilton County, Bush leads 52%-48%, 44% reporting (197k votes cast)
Licking County, Bush leads 61%-39%, 56% reporting (41k votes cast)
Tuscarawas County, Bush leads 56%-43%, 12% reporting (10k votes cast)
Warren County, Bush leads 71%-29%, 42% reporting (37k votes cast)
I don't see 120k votes there for Kerry.. maybe 50k at most..
Based purely on the math and the number of precincts counted, and assuming that the precinct populations are the same (a wild assumption, I know), there are over 900,000 votes not counted. That's quite a few.
I wish I could say it was a WALKIN', TALKIN', ROCKIN', LANDSLIDE!!!
But, hey, I'll Take it!!!
Bush as POTUS,
Senate +3
House +6
Yah Freakin Hoo!!!
Those numbers are not terribly promising. It looks like this could be Florida
What is going on in Michign? It was 51-49 last time I saw....
